"Dr. Thiele and his staff have restored my faith in dentistry. In the past I had a very bad experience which resulted in the loss of two teeth. The day came again when I needed treatment. After some great advice from Dr. Thiele, I chose to proceed. Since then, I have had some cosmetic treatment as well. Now it feels great to smile! My confidence, self esteem and my overall health is better. I truly believe a great smile along with laughter makes for a longer healthier life!"- T. Rogers Turlock, CA
